2018 Suzuki GSX250R Review

New for the 2018 model year, Suzuki has released its quarter-liter sportbike, the GSX250R. Some may say Suzuki is a bit late to the game and ask: Why not a 300? In fact, everywhere I have ridden the GSX250R, fellow motorcycle enthusiasts have asked that question. Suzuki reps tiptoed around that elephant in the room and were quick to mention performance isn’t the main selling point with 250cc motorcycles, even to the point of not providing horsepower or torque numbers. They insisted price, style, practicality, and ease of ownership are where customers are making decisions when purchasing these bikes.

In my opinion, Suzuki has done a great job hitting their intended marks. The new $4,499 GSX250R is a looker. From the GSX-R-derived headlight and taillight to the sweeping aerodynamic lines of the fairings, the little Suzuki carries styling reminiscent of a much bigger and more expensive motorcycle. The 17-inch, 10-spoke rims look great, and the LCD display makes the GSX250R feel a step ahead of the class in terms of finish detailing.

Infinix Note 4 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X Comparison

We put a phone of an up and coming smartphone brand in the cross-hairs of a crowd favorite. Infinix Mobility entered the Philippine market back in 2015 with their Hot Note since then we’ve seen a steady push from the brand. Xiaomi, on the other hand, has been a crowd favorite since they entered the market back in 2014 and is known to release competitively specced and aggressively priced phones.

Let’s see how the newly released Infinix Note 4 fare against Xiaomi’s highly regarded Redmi Note 4X.

Display and Multimedia

The Note 4 has a 5.7-inch Display while the Note 4X has a 5.5-inch display. Both phones have a Full HD IPS screens with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. They both have good viewing angles, color reproduction, and color accuracy.

Michael Kors Access Grayson review : A more mature smartwatch, in more ways than one

The Access Grayson makes some welcome improvements on last year’s Dylan to better justify the high price of this smartwatch. The lack of Android Pay feels like a miss opportunity, but otherwise MK has done a good job of refining things, even if it will be too large for some. Among the fashion brands, this feels like a flagship Android Wear watch right now.

Michael Kors Access Grayson

The Michael Kors Access Grayson marks the luxury fashion brand’s second go at Android Wear, but the game has changed. Last year’s Bradshaw and Dylan watches just missed the mark, as we argued that the tech and aesthetics were out of sync, but still they stood out in a sea of ugly smartwatches. Now, the bar is even higher, with a gamut of fashion-forward Android Wear watches taking advantage of the more polished Android Wear 2.0.

The new Grayson isn’t alone, it’s joined by the female-targeted Access Sofie (our full review is in the works), giving Michael Kors the freedom design the Grayson entirely with men in mind. It’s also $350, the same price as last year’s duo, making it one of the Android Wear gang’s more expensive members. That shouldn’t be surprising to anyone familiar with Michael Kors’ luxury brand, of course.

NAD C 568 review

It gives us great pleasure to note that the CD disc isn’t dead yet.

But despite that, it doesn’t go unnoticed that the ratio of ‘in vogue’ sources (turntables and music streamers, for example) to CD players that enter our test rooms these days isn’t too dissimilar to the proportion of students to teachers in a classroom.

So we’re pleased to welcome the NAD C 568, especially since its midrange price point is rather unpopulated with players we can heartily recommend.

Top and tailing it, however, are two very commendable models: the Marantz CD6006 (£280) and Cyrus CDi (£925) – our current Award winners, no less. So can the NAD occupy the rather sparse and barren land of the middle range CD player?

ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro Review

From among the lineup of new smartphones that ASUS Philippines launched this month, the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro can be considered as the premium mid-range device thanks to its all-metal body, large AMOLED display, and a dated yet proven to be capable Snapdragon 625 processor. But its main trick up its sleeve is the dual front cameras which aim to indulge users who are fond of taking selfies. Check out our review of the ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro below.

Design and Construction

The Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro has a strong design lineage that can be traced back to last year’s Zenfone 3 Deluxe. It’s got a very slim all-metal body, a manageable 5.5-inch display, and a pretty nice yet simple design.

2017 BMW i3 vs i3 with Range Extender Review

BMW’s 2017 i3 is actually two very different cars: this is actually a review of two i3 models, not one. The entry-level car is all-electric, with a 170 HP motor packing 184 lb-ft of torque and, new for 2017, a 33 kWh li-ion battery. On top of that, though, you can have the BMW i3 with Range Extender, which adds a 2-cylinder gas engine.

In a way that makes the i3 a hybrid, but the way it uses its gas engine is very different to most such cars. Rather than relying on it to power the wheels, BMW instead treats it as a portable generator. When you’re low on battery, the Range Extender starts up and begins to charge it.

It’s a clever system, not to mention a good backup for longer trips when a single charge can’t be relied upon to get you all the way from A to B. The EPA rates the regular i3 as good for up to 114 miles. The i3 with Range Extender has a slightly shorter all-electric range, at a quoted 97 miles, but with a full tank of gas you can extend that to 180 miles. I spent about a week with each to see how they compared.

Galaxy Note 8 Vs Galaxy Note 5: What to Expect if You Upgrade

Editors’ Note: We originally published this article on August 23, when Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 8. We’ve updated the comparison now that we’ve had a chance to test and review Samsung’s new phone.

Two years is a lifetime for smartphones, as processing power, battery life and camera capabilities can all take a great leap forward in that timespan. And if you bought Samsung’s Note 5 when it came out two years ago, you’re likely ready to trade it in for a new phone, especially after the Galaxy Note 7’s now-you-see-it-now-it’s-recalled act last year.

Samsung’s newest big-screen phone, the Galaxy Note 8, marks a big step forward from 2015’s Note. (Remember, there was no Note 6, as Samsung jumped straight from the Note 5 to the Note 7 in 2016.)

But how big a step is this new model? Here’s a closer look at how the specs compare between the new Note 8 and the Note 5 you’ve been holding onto.

Yamaha YAS-207 Sound Bar review

With so many entry-level soundbars these days it’s difficult to make a decision about which one to buy. From virtual surround and Google Cast connectivity to consider, and big decisions to make like whether you want a subwoofer or not, it can be hard to pick a good piece of audio equipment out from the crowd.

Light on features and rather bland to look at, the Yamaha YAS-207 won’t fit every home theatre. But for those with a limited budget plus the room (and an ear) for extra bass, the YAS-207 will please with balanced sound quality and a couple of neat virtual surround sound tricks.

But even budget speakers aren’t safe from competition. Coming in at $300 (£349, AU$539), the YAS-207 is up against fierce competition from the Sony HT-MT300 and LG SH7B – soundbars that support Google Cast and AirPlay, in addition to a number of other niceties.

2018 Nissan Leaf revealed: 150 miles range, and we’ve driven it

Meet the all-new 2018 Nissan Leaf, the much-anticipated updated version of one of the most affordable electric cars on the market. Promising more range, more power, and more technology, the new 2018 Leaf also adds some enthusiasm to the design of Nissan‘s zero-emissions hatchback. And, having had the rare opportunity to cruise around Nissan’s research facility in Japan behind the wheel of a prototype, here’s why I think this is a tipping point for the car.

I asked Alfonso E. Albaisa, Senior Vice President of Global Design, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. what the inspiration for the new Leaf was. Albaisa told me that “it all starts from a single line. It actually started with a DAT, not a dot, but a ‘DAT’, it means to dash of like a rabbit, which I love very much.” With that single line, the new Leaf is born – now all grown up, with a new aerodynamic exterior design, a roomy interior, and plenty of infotainment and driver-assistance technology

2018 Nissan Leaf revealed

The all-new 2018 Nissan Leaf electric hatch has been revealed in Japan today, at a giant tech-centric gala event inside the old Tokyo motor show venue.

2018 Nissan Leaf revealed

The Leaf’s unveiling brings only limited surprises, having already been partly revealed and detailed through the usual media leaks. But, importantly for EV fans – and perhaps for detractors, too – today’s flood of data confirms the numbers brought you in August.

That means a ‘bigger’ battery pack, more power, far improved driving range, autonomous driving tech, more space, sleeker styling, and a new-fandangled ‘e-pedal’.

Let’s get to it.

BATTERY & CHARGE

In Japan specification, which is all that has been revealed so far, buyers will benefit from a huge leap in driving range, courtesy of an extra-dense new 40kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

7 Reasons to Buy the Galaxy Note 8, and 2 Reasons to Skip

Galaxy Note 8 Pros and Cons

The Galaxy Note 8 is more than just a do-over for the recalled Note 7. It’s a leap forward for big-screen phones, offering a number of firsts for Samsung and a world’s first for any camera phone. Add in a number of S Pen improvements and other enhancements and you have what could be the ultimate phablet for power users. But there are a couple of reasons to think twice, too.

The Note 8, which starts at about $930, is available for pre-order now, and carriers are offering deals on Samsung’s big-screen handset. Here are seven reasons to buy the Note 8 and two reasons to skip it.

Dual Cameras beat the competition

The Galaxy Note 8 packs two rear 12-megapixel cameras, giving you a true 2x optical zoom, just like the iPhone 7 Plus. But unlike the current iPhone, both lenses on the Note 8 offer optical- image stabilization, which means you should see steadier-looking images and video. This is a first for any smartphone.

Smart rings: The good, the bad and the ugly in smart jewellery

Connected tech moves to the finger but the results aren’t always perfect

While Apple, Fitbit and Xiaomi have ensured that smartwatches and fitness trackers create the most buzz in the wearable tech space, smart jewellery is quietly building up a solid following by offering a more fashionable and discreet alternative for both women and men.

Due to their small size, smart rings in particular are tricky AF to get right. And many startups are running into legal or financial trouble too.

We’ve trawled the world of wearables to seek out the most interesting smart rings – the good, the bad and the very, very ugly…

How To Create A Child Profile On Your Fire Tablet

Whether you bought a Fire tablet just for your child to use, or you want to be able to hand your own Fire to your child once in a while, a Child Profile is essential for keeping kids away from your media, apps, and settings.

Child Profile - Manage your Child's Content 2It’s also great for sharing select media with a child, or sharing one Kindle Fire with multiple children of different ages. Creating a Child Profile is easy and can be done in just a minute or two. Once the profile is set up, if you want to, you can go deeper into the settings and get very specific.

Initial Setup

  1. Swipe down from the top of the Fire’s screen and press Settings. Scroll down to the “Personal” section and press Profiles & Family Library. Press Add a child profile. Note that if you don’t already have a lockscreen passcode set up for your profile, you will be prompted to set one up. This is to prevent your child from accessing your account and settings.

Kia Sorento GT Line v Nissan Pathfinder Ti v Toyota Kluger Grande comparison

The second-generation Mazda CX-9 shook up the large family crossover segment when it arrived here about a year ago, but it’s not the be-all and end-all.

Kia Sorento GT Line v Nissan Pathfinder Ti v Toyota Kluger Grande comparison

For instance, the colossal American-made Toyota Kluger and Nissan Pathfinder may not have the Mazda’s badge or chic design, but they’re both noteworthy prospects.

Ditto the Kia Sorento from Korea which, while due for a mid-cycle update this October, remains a versatile and supremely well-priced family hauler that has won comparisons on CarAdvice before.

Here, we’re testing this trio in their flagship specification levels to give you an idea of all the tech on offer, but note that you can have each for $20,000, or more, less if you opt for an entry version.

The test: Kia Sorento GT-Line versus Nissan Pathfinder Ti versus Toyota Kluger Grande.

B&W 707 S2 review

Small speakers have innate limitations; the Laws Of Physics see to that. But these new Bowers & Wilkins compacts prove that with enough engineering knowhow those laws can be bent to produce surprising results. Meet the 707 S2s – the small speakers that go loud and dig deep.

Standing just 28cm tall, these boxes are the babies of the company’s new 700 series. The range sits in a rather uncomfortable place between the over-achieving entry-level 600s and the high-end juggernaut that is the diamond-tweetered 800s.

But unlike previous generations, these new 700s are ambitiously designed to offer a good slice of the performance and technology of their high-end relatives.

The new 700 series

Your £800/$1040 buys a beautifully made box. It’s available in three finishes; the gloss black of our review sample, a satin white and a rather nice rosenut wood option.

Mid-Range Royal Rumble: Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro Vs. Xiaomi MI A1 Vs. Huawei GR5 (2017)

You’ll never see mid-range phones the same way as before

With flagship smartphones becoming more and more expensive lately, most of us regular individuals like to be more practical with our smartphone choices. Fortunately for all of us, brands have been beefing up their mid-range lineupwith phones that offer decent performance-level specs without breaking the bank. In fact, we have reviewed a bunch of mid-range phones within the Php11k to Php16K lately, and so far we’re quite impressed with what they have to offer.

With Android One finally getting what it truly deserves with the Xiaomi Mi A1, the mid-range smartphone market is now stronger than ever. While we have yet gotten our hands on a unit (they say that the Mi A1 is the global version of the Mi 5X), we have thought of comparing it to two of our favorite mid-range phones we have reviewed so far: Samsung’s Galaxy J7 Pro and Huawei’s GR5 (2017). Before we get started, here’s a quick overview of their specs:

Food trackers: The best calorie counter apps and wearables

Tech yourself thin with these food apps and trackers

There’s been a lot of debate over recent years about the fact a calorie isn’t always a calorie. So just because you cut down your calorie intake it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t focus on the quality of your food to make sure you feel good and ultimately shift the fat in the long term – not just the weight in the short term.

Having said that, using a calorie tracker is one of the best ways to get control of your diet. Counting up all those snacks and meals can reveal some shocking news about your eating habits and highlight common misconceptions about the food you eat – not to mention the portion sizes you might be over-consuming.

The best food tracking apps

It can quickly highlight what your normal eating habits are and where you might make improvements, which can perfectly complement the health and activity information from your wearable gadget.

Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G Review

Introduction

The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G is a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for Sony full-frame FE-mount cameras (A9/A7/A7R II/A7S). It has four aspherical elements, including one Super ED and three ED elements. The lens is dust- and moisture-resistant and has a minimum focusing distance of 28cm with a maximum magnification of 0.14x. It has a 7 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas of the image, an internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn’t move, and there’s a Nano AR coating to help minimise flare. The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G lens is available for around £1700 / $1700 in the UK and the US, respectively.

Ease of Use

Weighing in at 560 grams and measuring 87 x 117.4 mm, the metal-bodied Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G feels very well-constructed. It’s overall size and weight makes it feel well-balanced on the Sony A7R II body that we tested it with, as shown in the photos below.

Asus VivoBook W202NA Review

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Asus VivoBook W202NA

With the VivoBook W202NA, Asus aims to please students and budget-conscious parents with a versatile and highly durable laptop. For $279, this notebook features a bright 11.6-inch display, a rugged design and solid performance. Though the W202NA comes with the limited Windows 10S and a not-so-wonderful webcam, it’s still great for classroom use.

Design: Fun-sized, but tough

At 11.6 x 7.9 x 0.89 inches and 2.6 pounds, the Asus VivoBook W202NA is so small it almost looks like a toy. Its exterior is made out of a textured navy-blue plastic with matching rubber guarding its edges. The lid is slim and easy to open, and a silver Asus logo at the center adds a sophisticated touch.

The deck is chrome and has a lovely diamond pattern, while the hinge allows the VivoBook to flip back 180 degrees. I noticed some flex on the keyboard and bezel, but there wasn’t any creaking. The base, however, felt very sturdy and didn’t give away with applied pressure, while two rubber grips prevented sliding on my smooth desk.

Smart Vision EQ ForTwo concept preview: The future autonomous car for slick city transit

Daimler has revealed its Smart Vision EQ ForTwo concept in Stuttgart, two weeks before it gets shown to the public at the Frankfurt Auto Show.

The concept — which the company stresses is not designed to preview the exterior styling of the next Smart ForTwo — presents a radically changed, much more digital future for the brand. The concept explores the future of shared city mobility, along with electrified and autonomous cars. All the buzz words then.

Beyond this connected, sharing, driving-itself future, Smart’s vision (sorry) is that the future ForTwo stays true to the ultra-compact dimensions of today’s Smart — the concept is exactly the same length, at 2.69m — and it’s still strictly two-seater. However, two seats are actually now a single sofa-style unit.

But the big news is that the Vision EQ ForTwo goes full-on ‘Google Car’ and throws out the steering wheel and pedals. In case it needs spelling out, this is a full, Level 5 autonomous concept.

Sennheiser OCX 686 review: Wired for sports

For many there’s probably the temptation to use whichever headphones you happen to have lying around for your workouts, but that’s really not the best strategy. Picking a pair that are designed to cope with getting sweaty and rained on, to take the abuse of being out on a run, in the gym, or in your bag, will lead to a much better experience.

Sennheiser has been in the sports headphones business for a long time, as one of the early brands to recognise that you need something a little different for sports. As an anecdotal aside, we reviewed a pair of Sennheiser Sport headphones way back in 2006 and we subsequently used them for about six years before they fell apart. That sounds like a sound investment to us.

Bringing things more up to date is the Sennheiser 686 series. These come in a number of styles – CX, MX, PMX and OCX – with the OCX being cabled in-ears with ear hooks, designed for the abuse they’ll get during sport. Are they a sound investment for 2017?

Behind the scenes with Bang & Olufsen and the new Audi A8

We’ve been to Audi’s Ingolstadt HQ to see its high-tech Sound Lab in action and hear B&O’s latest in-car audio system…

But first, a brief history lesson. The two companies have been in cahoots since 2005, when B&O’s first car audio system featured on the 2nd-gen Audi A8 saloon.

A decade later, B&O’s 3D sound technology made its debut in the Audi Q7. It saw B&O height speakers appear in a car environment for the first time, using a Fraunhofer Symphorium algorithm to help create three-dimensional audio effects.

Fast-forward to the 2018 Audi A8 and you can tick the options box for the very the latest version of B&O’s flagship set-up. The 3D Advanced Sound System boasts 23 speakers, 23 channels of amplification, 1920W of power, and a new arrangement of height speakers.

LG V30 vs Galaxy S8 vs Galaxy Note 8: Is the V30 better than Samsung’s flagships?

We compare the feature-packed LG V30 smartphone with Samsung’s most premium handsets, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, to see which boasts the best design, media functionality, camera tech and beyond.

At IFA 2017 LG launched its enticing V30 handset, the first V-series phone to come over to the UK. The V30 offers a serious upgrade over the older LG G6, boasting better specs, awesome camera features and the all-improved LG UX 6.0+ software. This adds some cool new bits like voice unlocking, as well as a huge array of fresh video modes for capturing a great-looking home movie.

Of course, while we don’t quite know the V30’s asking price, you can be sure it won’t come cheap. Which means you might be struggling to decide between some of 2017’s biggest and best Android flagship phones.

Garmin Vivoactive 3: Essential guide to the circular smartwatch

How To Sideload Apps On Your Fire Tablet

When you bought your Kindle Fire, maybe you knew that you were entering a world without the Google Play Store, and did it anyway. Or, perhaps you were surprised to find out that you weren’t able to find apps like Chrome and YouTube in the Amazon App Store. And you’d love your Fire just a little more if you could add a few of your favorite apps!

Sideload 14

Luckily, this isn’t hard to do. You can install individual apps directly onto your Fire, called “Sideloading.” Note that some apps may not work on the Fire if installed this way, especially paid apps or apps that require in-app purchasing, and most Google apps won’t work either (Chrome is a big exception – it works, as long as you don’t want to sign in and sync Chrome with other devices). For these I would recommend reading our tutorial on how to get the Google Play Store on your Fire.

Either way, know that there is some risk in altering your Fire this way. Be especially careful of where you get your APK files from.

The E-M10III’s body has seen a slight redesign over its E-M10II predecessor’s and some controls have been re-arranged too. the E-M10 III is almost exactly the same size, and only 10 grams heavier than its predecessor.

The Olympus E-M10 Mark III has a 16.1-megapixel Four Thirds CMOS sensor powered by a dual quad-core TruePic VIII Processor. This is the same processor used in the E-M1 Mark II. There’s 4K video recording and the continuous shooting goes up to 8.6 frames per second.
